Networking is crucial if you want to make it in the world of freelance writing.
Even high-profile authors like Neil Gaiman and Stephen King had to build their professional networks in their early years and still regularly attend talks and conferences with similar peers like Sussana Clarke and Margaret Atwood.

How much time do you need to put into freelancing to make it a successful career?
Most get into freelancing because they like to write or want to work from home but what many fail to take into consideration is that it is a business.
If you’re a freelancer, you know how important it is to have a comfortable and functional workspace. I’ve been freelancing for close to a decade and over those years, I’ve had serious bouts of hand pain and neck pain.
So, having a workspace with all the necessities like your desk, chair and laptop, is important if you type for a living.
